Thu, 04 Mar 2010 14:13:42 +0000#comment-74497Guys, I did recreate the profile and that solved it. Go figure. BTW, I know there is a clean regisrty fix for my former problem and I was hoping you guys would walk me through it. I found several on other sites, but were not detailed enough and did not specifically deal with .doc files.
Thanx for all the help. This is a great site!!

Looking at the Microsoft Support site I came across the following two:

As far as your profile goes, it could be the way your profile is loading/loaded on that particular computer.

I hope this helps.

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 23:26:15 +0000#comment-74480Xeno, thanks for the answer. It did not work. BTW, I did reasociate the file before, but that did not help me. When I tried your suggestion, I only found “Microsoft Office Word 2007 document” in my drop down menu.
I am new to this site, & I find confusing to navigate it, so I hope this is where I respond (how about a simple “Respond” button on this site?)
I see that I have to go in more details.
The reason I am doing all this is that I am getting a pesky error message when opening doc files from desktop or on share drives (only opening directly in Word works fine).
The error msg is: The command cannot be performed because a dialog box is open. Click Ok, and then close dialog boxes to continue”
This error msg. window is overlaying over another error msg. window
I click ok. and the first error now reads: Word experienced an error trying to open the file. Try these suggestions. * Check the file permission….etc.
After I click OK on this error msg window, my file does open fine.
I am a tech support, and I should be able to get rid of this nasty annoyance. This happened out of blue couple days ago, and with all doc files that I have access to. That is why I wanted to get to “Advanced” option and check “open” settings and “dde” settings. I was thinking about re-doing my profile, but than found that when I sign on to one of my user’s PC as me, I do not have this issue. So it can not be my profile. Hope someone can help :((
